I served a 2 year LDS mission, so I am a bit older than most other applicants, and I am afraid that will hurt me. Also, I'm a bit worried I am too business-focused. Thoughts anyone?

Here are my stats:

I think you have a pretty interesting story to tell. Your grades are certainly up to the standards of 2+2. I think you have a shot for it. And yes, your age is a bit more parculiar BUT there are always exceptions and I think in your case, you should still go for it. What's the worse that could happen?
